The global electronic grade sulfuric acid size is projected to reach USD 311.2 Million by 2020. This growth is fueled by the growing technological dominance, increasing demand for electronics devices, rising development strategies, and increasing expansion and acquisition activities.

PPT grade is considered as purest grade of electronic grade sulfuric acid. It is generally used for cleaning and etching applications in the semiconductor industry. The market for PPT graded electronic grade sulfuric acid is projected to be the fastest-growing grade and accounts for the major share of the overall market. Asia-Pacific is currently the largest user of high purity grade (PPT) of electronic grade sulfuric acid. The PPT or parts per trillion grades are applied for more sophisticated semiconductors and PCBs where the ppb or part per billion graded electronic grade sulfuric acid properties cannot be used due to lower purity level. Ppb is commonly used for very small units

Semiconductor – The largest market for electronic grade sulfuric acid

The semiconductor industry is the biggest consumer of electronic grade sulfuric acid and accounted for the major share of the market, in terms of value, in 2014. A wet etching solution is used to remove the patterned photoresist layer over the silicon wafer or substrate, one of such wet chemical used is electronic grade sulfuric acid. This acid is widely used in semiconductors for ultra-large scale integrated circuit assembly and processing. The demand for electronic grade sulfuric acid is directly proportional to the demand for semiconductors as a major share of electronic grade sulfuric acid is used for the semiconductor industry. The market for electronic grade sulfuric acid in the semiconductor industry is driven by the rise in advanced and hi-tech electronic devices and gadgets.

Asia-Pacific – The largest market for electronic grade sulfuric acid

Asia-Pacific is the largest market for electronic grade sulfuric acid with major developments witnessed in China, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. The Asia-Pacific market accounted for half of the global electronic grade sulfuric acid size, in terms of value, in 2014. This region is expected to dominate the market till 2020, with advanced technological developments in electronic devices and semiconductors for end users. Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the biggest region till 2020 with high investments in emerging applications such as cleaning and etching in semiconductor industry. Also, Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for electronic grade sulfuric acid. This high growth is attributed to expansion of production capacity, demand for advanced electronic devices, and others.
